Question

In a survey of 232 students, about 5.5% have attended more than one play. Which is closest to the number of students in the survey who have attended more than play? 5 7 13 16​

Answer 1

13

Explanation:

Number of students that attended more than play = percentage of students that attended more than play x total number of students

5.5% x 232

0.055 x 232 = 12.76 students

to round off to the nearest whole number, look at the first number after the decimal, if it is less than 5, add zero to the units term, If it is equal or greater than 5, add 1 to the units term.

Since the first term is 7 which is greater than 5, 1 would be added to it.

This gives 13
